That was honestly one of the most horrible arguments I have ever read, or, rather, it had some horrible parts, and you should edit some of your post. First-The Halo 1 Pistol was THE MOST OVERPOWERED WEAPON I HAVE EVER SEEN. It makes the BR look like a nerfed AR. It was automatic, a 3 shot kill, and it had a scope with pin point accuracy. Second-MLG was around during if not before Halo 1, and Halo 2 and the BR only served to make them popular. MLG likes the BR because it is the most versatile (ableit overpowered) weapon in the game, and it kills fast. Third-blaming one weapon for killing a game (let alone when it is one of if not the most popular ones out there) is completely out of line. Halo 2 and 3 are both great.
Now, some of you thread makes sense and is good. 1.The BR makes going out into the open extremely hard to do. So, in affect, it does promote camping. HOWEVER, the same could be said for the Sniper, or any other possible mid range weapon. The only solution would be nerfing anything greater than medium range... which is ridiculous for the entire game. Part of Halo is taking risks by going out into the open to travel or to get desirable items. I think they should not tone the BR down, so much as they should only keep small amounts of them (4-6) with small amounts on ammo (2 full clips) and with large respawn times (60-120 seconds). It should be a counter-sniper weapon, and it is too overpowered to be used as it is. This means that Bungie should introduce another MID-range (not mid-long range) weapon such as the pistol that would be a good, versatile weapon that is not as powerful as the BR. I think the Carbine could be used more, as its traits make it much more mid-range than mid-long range.
2. The main thing here is-if you put a mid-long range weapon in a game, and make it too powerful, or don't limit it enough, it will negatively affect the game. This is my opinion, but I believe it to be correct. Reach needs a less powerful or less available BR in favor of a new starting weapon, whether or not it be the pistol or some of the other ideas (SCR) that have been going around this forum, that is a true MID-RANGE WEAPON.
